Abstract

One of the most important issues related to the power supply of TWTA lamps in satellites is to have low ripple, high efficiency, high reliability and optimal volume and weight,. In this article, the efficiency and reliability of high voltage DC/DC electronic-power converter is optimized for use in satellite and TWTA lamps. The goal of optimization using multi-objective genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) in this article is to minimize the objective function, which includes efficiency and reliability. Markov model is used to evaluate reliability, in which short-circuit and open-circuit errors are considered for circuit switches and diodes, and short-circuit errors are considered for passive circuit elements. for optimization, first, the input variables of the algorithm are determined as the input of the objective function, so that with the help of sensitivity analysis, the parameters that have low sensitivity and their changes do not have a major impact on the objective function are eliminated. parameters of NSGA-II algorithm, including the number of iterations, the number of populations, and the probability have been determined for the accurate calculation of circuit variables. the results section this method, in addition to maintaining high efficiency, with the optimal selection of elements, high reliability can be achieved .
